  • Burj Khalifa, the Shard, and Rivals by Eva Bogomil
    Burj Khalifa, The Shard, and Rivals by Eva Bogomil Introduction From the early days, we have invariably been interested in the world we live in, exploring, analysing, and altering it at our will. Humanity has gone a long way from caves to modern skyscrapers, aiming for ever greater heights. The power of human ingenuity has conquered the elements to reach the sky and beyond. Nowadays technologies allow us to build skyscrapers that totally change our idea of a modern world. Throughout the centuries brilliant engineers have been inventing more advanced and complex technologies, expanding our abilities. The Acropolis, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and the Sydney Opera House are all marvellous buildings that have remained objects of admiration for historians, architects, and artists, as well as a source of inspiration for many generations. Even to the general public the structures appear breathtaking. The 21st century saw the dawn of super-skyscraper construction. The Shard, Taipei 101, the Princess Tower, the Abraj Al-Bait Towers, and the Shanghai Tower are just some of the outstanding examples the modern world can be proud of. Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world, crowns this list of our achievements (Figure 1.0) which keep attracting people, making them wonder how such structures could have been built. Figure 1.0: Height comparison of some of the tallest buildings in the world This essay will focus mainly on London’s Shard and Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Both of these skyscrapers are unique in their own way, yet similar. The Shard — currently the tallest building in the United Kingdom — dominates London skyline.

One of the most important reasons driven the achievement is the continuously evolvement of structural systems. In this paper, previous classifications of structural systems are summarized and different types of structural systems are introduced. Besides the structural systems, innovations in other aspects of today's design of high-rise buildings including damping systems, construction techniques, elevator systems as well as sustainability are presented and discussed.

  • DMCC Al Mas Tower - Structural Design
    DMCC Al Mas Tower - Structural Design Chander Shahdadpuri Head of Structural Engineering, WS Atkins & Partners Overseas, Dubai Dr. Shapour Mehrkar-Asl Former Head of Structural Engineering, WS Atkins & Partners Overseas, Dubai Ranjith E Chandunni Associate Structural Engineer, WS Atkins & Partners Overseas, Dubai ABSTRACT: DMDMCCC CAl (MDausb aTi oMwetra lS &tru Cctoumraml o dities Center) Al Mas Tower is a 360m high slender office tower located in the Jumeirah Lake Towers Development in Dubai, UAE. Significant structural design challenges were presented by the architectural form and the client’s requirement for floor efficiencies of 80%. This paper discusses the structural system adopted; wind tunnel testing done to assess structural loads, cladding pressures and building acceleration; assessment of short and long term lateral movements of the building arising from the asymmetric form; column shortening effects and resultant mitigating measures; construction aspects and the connection between outriggers and the peripheral columns; and vibration and fatigue assessment of the feature spire. 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The tower comprises 5 basements, 3 podium levels, 60 commercial floors and 3 mechanical floors. The client is Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). Figure 1 shows an artist’s impression of the building. A typical tower floor plan is in the form of two diagonally offset ellipses, the maximum floor length of which is approximately 64 m compared to its width of 42 m (Figure 2). From level 53 to 64 the floor plan consists of only one of the two ellipses. Due to the iconic nature of the building, there is an 81 m slender spire at its top.
